SpellForce - The Order of Dawn Review at GameZone

An assessment that surprisingly deems Phenomic's game to be a mixture of action and real-time strategy.

By IGN Staff

A review of SpellForce that appeared on our radar yesterday evaluates the game to be more akin to a blend of tactics and action than a combination of strategy and role-playing. Regardless, it does reach a favorable conclusion:

Spellforce game? Around fifty bucks. Computer to play it on? Five hundred to a thousand dollars. Leading your huge army into certain bloody death against a giant mix of demons and other scary creatures IN FULL 3RD PERSON PLAYER CONTROL? Priceless. Seriously, I really have to give some credit to the folks at Phenomic here for Spellforce. If you enjoy third person action titles or RTS games, and enjoy some really good battles in between building and resource gathering all wrapped around a good vs. evil story which is interesting and contains some decent plot twists, you will definitely want to check out Spellforce.

Four disparate facets are evaluated numerically, namely Gameplay, Graphics, Sound and Concept, which in that order earn marks of 8.3, 8.1, 7.9 and 8.5 out of 10, and the overall score is 8.4. - Annihilator
